Hi there! I'm Nika, welcome to my 3D art corner! This account is mostly gaming related and I'm currently into Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Detroit Become Human and Obey Me!. I like many titles and visual novels though, so I can be pretty random at times. Check the gradient dots to access my main pages with additional info! Ko-Fi | Notice about models

Hi everyone,

I'm making a new post regarding my 3D art commissions (NOT AI generated). I'm currently available to take new ones, so if you are interested, please keep reading this post!

Fanarts based on video games or original content, featuring existing characters and/or OCs. My artworks are created entirely in 3D, with the addition of some postwork and enhancement if/when needed. All the characters are recreated by myself, using DAZ Studio bases and fully modeled content.

𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖!

𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐓/𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐓:

• With OC (First order, character from scratch): €95

• With OC (From the second order onwards): €65

• No OC (Existing character): €65

𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘:

• With OC (First order): €115

• With OC (Second order+): €85

• No OC (Existing character): €85

𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐓/𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐓:

• With OC (First order): €150

• With OC (Second order+): €110

• No OC (Existing characters): €110

𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘:

• With OC (First order): €195

• With OC (Second order+): €150

• No OC (Existing characters) €150

By 'existing character' I essentially mean one from this list. You can also keep an eye on the upcoming models that I will be able to use sometime in the future. However, if you wish to commission me a character that I haven't done before, I can consider recreating it for your commission. Just keep in mind that I'd need to apply the same price I charge for OCs, as I'd have to make a new model from scratch.

As you can see from the previews, I can do both realistic and stylized/Anime design+shading. If there's an Anime character you would love to see in realistic form, that can certainly be arranged!

For more information about additional content and other extras, please check my carrd.co page.

You can send me a private message here. I have five slots available at a time. Should I receive more requests once they are filled, I will add the person to my Waiting List. Waiting Lists will also feature a total of five spots, and I will contact each person in line as soon as one of the slots is freed.

Once your commission is accepted, I will forward you a PayPal invoice. I'll also provide screenshots with previews through the entire process, so it is important to be responsive should I require your approval or clarification.

Alternatively, you could also purchase a tier on my Ko-Fi page directly, so it is up to your preference.

Note: As soon as you commission me, you automatically agree to my Terms Of Service.

𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓: If you don't feel like commissioning me, I only ask for this post to be shared so that I can reach more people. Every form of support matters, even if it's just a simple reblog! ♥

I never really open up on social media. I've always been a private person who doesn't like complaining online, but this time around, I felt a compelling urge to finally get something off my chest.

First of all, hi. Long time no see. Many of you have certainly noticed that I haven't posted anything new in a very long time. 2025 has been a very difficult year due to family matters, along with my health declining and essentially impairing me to this day. This is not the focal point of my post, however, so I'll skip the details.

In general, I lost my motivation and whole creative vibe, only focusing on work and my personal situation. I completely lost track of who I was and who I wanted to be, which I'm still investigating right now. This inevitably dragged me away from all that used to give me joy in the past, such as art and video games. Not because I don't like them anymore, but simply because I could no longer dedicate my attention to these things.

Now, considering the premise, you can definitely imagine that the implementation of AI in our daily life has given me the final blow. I've seen generative content being published everywhere and gaining tons of views, likes, and followers. New AI accounts growing in the span of a few days, simply because of their pretty videos attracting more and more people who want to use the same tools for their own gain. Nowadays, AI users are earning money and fame in the blink of an eye, while real creators have to deal with comments questioning the truthfulness of their work. Nobody believes you can make something by yourself anymore.

I'll be honest with you guys. As an artist, I've been dealing with demotivation for years. The algorithm is a damn beast, especially on Instagram, TikTok, and other similar platforms, which means even high-quality content is essentially cornered. While I never wanted to make art for fame, I eventually started doing it mainly with that goal in mind. I wished to be recognized, to work and earn in the field, to create things that people would love and consider worthy. I failed. Because whenever I posted a new work, I always felt like it was becoming useless. It was barely seen by other people, appreciated, or shared. Then AI came into the picture, and I realized everything I was doing had lost its importance.

I wondered why I should constantly struggle to make something people don't care about seeing anymore. Why would I waste my time and efforts on real art when all that everyone seems to crave right now is AI?

Don't get me wrong, AI can actually be an extremely useful tool for artists as well, even though it is very controversial and is extremely harmful for the environment. I also know that creating good AI content requires proper subscriptions to different services, prompt refinement, many tries, and additional editing to put things together. Still, AI is trained over existing data. Meaning, real artworks, videos, and songs are constantly taken without consent and used to feed AI tools to make them better and more efficient. People make money out of something that could easily become straight plagiarism, and that has already happened in a bunch of instances with lawsuits.

Then, one day, a guy commissioned me to create a group picture for him and his friends, featuring their Street Fighter avatars. He contacted me out of the blue to request a character change, because one of his pals told him my art was generic and he didn't want it. I know I shouldn't let these things affect me in the slightest, after all, we all have our tastes and preferences. But considering I was already in quite a bad place emotionally, that made me reconsider my entire journey as an artist, and I noticed my latest renders were indeed lacking a soul.

I stepped away from it, took a long-ass break, tried to rediscover myself.

I'm doing my best to get back on track. In the end, I still ADORE art as it's been engraved in my DNA (my grandfather was an artist and a jazz musician), and I could never truly forget about it, even though the mere thought of it would make me sad. In the end, I decided that I wanted to start fresh and learn again, improve, become better. If I cannot beat AI, then I'll "use" AI as an incentive, as a motivation for me to produce content again.

I sincerely wish to express my gratitude to the ones who commissioned me still, despite AI taking over. The fact there's someone interested in human work and willing to pay for it should not be taken for granted.

I don't want to make any promises here, but I plan to post new 3D stuff in the future. Most likely it will be for old fandoms as well as new ones. For the ones who are still here, I'm glad to see you. For those who left or are considering unfollowing, no hard feelings. You have my full understanding here.

TL;DR: Demotivation due to AI. Currently getting back on track.

Seeing the new Dragon Age Gameplay trailer truly brought me back to the countless hours I spent in Inquisition. I felt inspired and created this fantasy Solas portrait recently. Nothing too fancy.

Another old pic of Connor from Detroit Become Human, which was called "Pet Therapy". Again, the original work was a little strange and the expression looked absolutely awful. Those are generally difficult to get right and realistic in 3D, especially when they're done by hand with no face capture. I just had to correct it.

The Sumo model belongs to Quantic Dream. Connor made with DAZ Studio.

Something I've spent too many hours doing.

And that I forgot to post......

I was checking the Obey Me! Nightbringer models and they look waayyy better than what we originally see. In my opinion, Solmare should have picked a better shading technique, because the in-game ones just can't compare, and the difference can be seen in this screenshot alone.

The models are very well done. Not particularly detailed in some areas due to the limited memory (it's a mobile game after all), but still very decent and nice to look at.

Something I noticed is the trick they used to fake the classic Anime black line on the nose. It's not painted on the texture, they actually modeled a stripe and attached it.

This creates the illusion of a black line, without the need to use additional techniques for normals and whatnot. However, if you look at it from the top, it's quite funny:

Obviously, this is intended for rendering purposes, in a context that does not require the character to be seen from this specific angle. It does a great job and I might try it out myself for my own Anime renders.

Note: The models can be found on MysteriaRandomthings's Ko-Fi page (free download). She ported all the brothers, Diavolo, Luke and Thirteen so far. They can be loaded in Blender with the MMD or VRM addons, as they don't come with a regular FBX format.

Happy Christmas Eve! 🎄

I'm still practicing with 3D and editing techniques :D

Beware of potential clients who may contact you via email or a freelance platform, claiming to be interested in purchasing your art, but only if you add them on Telegram to "discuss things" there.

Don't.

Ever.

Most likely, this is a big fat scam. I would strongly advise staying away from anyone who claims to be busy, receives an excessive number of messages, and insists on using Telegram as their sole communication platform. They may even pressure you into downloading the app if you don't already have it.

Greedy people will go to great lengths to take advantage of artists online. It's crucial to exercise caution and prioritize your own protection. If you are a beginner, it's important not to accept low rates or work for free in exchange for "visibility." You should establish your boundaries and conduct business on your own terms, rather than bending to the client's demands.

I had my fair share of questionable experiences, and unfortunately, it doesn't get any better with time. It is crucial for you to recognize who deserves your trust and never compromise for the benefit of others. Always prioritize yourself and never do anything that might favor someone else at your own expense.

Connor, Kara and Markus from Detroit Become Human, retouched and improved.

First set of three Obey Me! characters in CGI form, specifically we have Lucifer, Mammon and my personal MC. These are actually revamped works from the original rendered result, which wasn't satisfying me anymore.

I will definitely work on the other characters as I make the models, it may take a bit because I generally start with the Anime design and then make the realistic variation after that.

Right now, I need to decide who to create next. Not gonna lie, I'm really tempted to model Diavolo.

Daz3d + Blender Cycles + Photoshop edit.

[3deliciousdigital]

Yes.

It's quite warm again here, so have a refreshing render with the FFXV Pocket models, which I haven't used in a long time. I also got the chance to work on the Gladio base, which I didn't make in the past.

This is a concept idea I had on my least for two years. I'm trying to tick off most of my old projects so that I can get to the new stuff as well.

Game files + Daz3d + Blender

[3deliciousdigital]

Why do I always make renders when it's so damn hot? Now I'm jealous of these two! 🌊

This is a very old idea. I have a lot of prompts that I added to my list ages ago and never actually used, so now I'm trying to work through it because I hate leaving things unfinished.

Again, I wasn't sure about the style for this one. I initially wanted to make it as Anime, but then I figured it would look interesting in CGI form.

The goal is to complete all the OBM character models in 2024 max, so let's hope that Solmare won't decide to add someone else (I'm low-key still hoping to see Michael though).

Can you share a google drive's link from IntheFlesh's V Devil May Cry for G8M?

Hi,

The models I use are mine (not fully optimized for DAZ and made for personal use only), so I don't have ITF's V.

I wouldn't really provide free links with someone else's work that is available for purchase, anyway... 😅

Oh look, I’ve got an oldie.

I miss Julian and The Arcana.

I see a lot of complaints popping up on social media regarding the 3D models of Nightbringer. There are a few things a lot of players are probably not aware of, so I’m going to address those myself for clarification:

- Their red capes are missing: Yes, that is true, but there might be a technical explanation for that. Loose fabrics in 3D are a a real pain to rig decently without using physics, because they may not look natural with the character’s movements. The manual rig can cause ugly weight painting errors that end up stretching the mesh, or deforming it in a weird way. My guess is they were unable to make them for this reason and thus decided to just leave them out completely.

- Their skintone is wrong, too white compared to the original design: Again, yes. However, the lighting is definitely the culprit. Whenever I have to render skintones (like any shade), I notice how horribly pale they look in a certain lighting condition. Usually I correct this by increasing the contrast and adding more nodes to the active shaders, so maybe they could do the same, or just make the skin textures darker. Unfortunately, I don’t know how Unity works, assuming that’s the engine they’re going with. A good difference is visible also on Beel’s skin if you compare the model presentation with the in-game sneak peek; the lighting in that area is softer and darker, thus he also looks less pale.

3D is complex, especially when you have to adapt a 2D stylized concept to the new graphics. This is also a mobile app, so there are a few limitations that a PC game wouldn’t have. A clear example of that is, again, Beel in MC’s room; it looks quite pixelated and not as crisp as the model preview, so I fear that the antialiasing is either turned off, or kept at a lower value not to make the game too heavy. On the other hand, it could just be that the picture looks like that, but the actual in-game visuals will be better, so we can only wait and see!
